First piece of luck for the correspondents was the four-day wait for the delayed royalty in Quebec. During those days they practically lived in the cool, dark, comfortable Terrace Club of the Château Frontenac, improving their dispositions with the mild distillates of the Dominion. When the Royal ship docked at Wolfe's Cove, the New York Herald Tribune's Edward Angly, the Times's Raymond Daniell and John MacCormac, the A. P.'s Frank H. King and U.

As illustrator for Tarkington, Kelland and other light fictioneers, popular, saturnine Artist Brown made a cool Wall Street million before it melted down in 1929. At 58 he says he is doing it again. Other illustrators like to kid Brown about his draftsmanship, but the laugh is on them. There is some quality in his clean-cut youths and pretty girls that fits the American Dream...
